NPR - Negotiators in Qatar are close to a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. If agreed to, the initial phases of the agreement would have Hamas release 33 hostages still being held in Gaza in exchange for Israel’s release of a number of Palestinian detainees. There would also be a six-week pause in fighting.
The exact details of the deal are still being discussed, but an
Israeli official with knowledge of it tells NPR that they hope to
provide good news "soon," NPR’s Kat Lonsdorf says. The official also says this is the first time since November 2023 that there have been such detailed negotiations with representatives from all sides present.
Fighting has continued while the deal is still being discussed.
Yesterday, over 50 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes,
according to Gaza civil defense, and five Israeli soldiers were killed,
according to the military.
